A handmade porcelain bowl glazed in shades of blue and purple
Today's kiln prize!
I also made a bunch of matte pastel cups, but they came out streaky 😒

The warm grey tones of my Beach Rocks wreath vase do compliment his silver tabby colors very well.
I did not know a model was necessary for housewares, but J'Zargo makes a very good point, he is a handsome cat. #studiomanager #model #cat #tabby #pottersofbluesky

The glaze looks more blue than green or turquoise. Background matters.

Coffee siphon heating up with a IR Beam heater with coffee beans and ceramic mugs in view.
Caturday has finally arrived, time to caffeinate before studio cleaning time 🧹

Layering is one way to go when wood firing
.
Two slips, then biscuit
.
Just added black mason stain
.
Next, I'll wax the circles along with the leaves and stems outside the circles
.
Then, glaze
.
VCAA blue or green oribe
.
They'll go in the soda chamber
.

You can tell which of these got the zebra treatment first
.
Three layers of slip
.
Troy porcelain with a rib first, Suze Lindsay black with a needle applicator next, Helmer with an atomizer last
.
More, more layering
.
No dumb Trump wars
.

Beer ready. It’s rough out there, but this trio is willing to help you forget about it for a little while. #pottery #pottersofbluesky #wheelthrown #amacoglazes #ceramics #trumpsucks

Felt loose so why not slap some mason stain on work in process
.
Likely hide the marks with oribe
.
I'll spray Helmer over first though, in case I decide to keep the "don't care" ensos/badly-executed biohazard symbols
.
As a lesson to practice first
.

A wall hanging wreath vase in my Beach Rocks design, with red and white flowers
My work got to be on its own table, with wall hangings on the beams!
This is the first time I've gotten to actually put flowers in this shape, and I LOVE IT!!!
Such a great space, I have the tagine from my Throwdown series, a few small bottles, one of my wreath vases, and a nice little orb I threw a while back
The first pieces out of my own kiln are at Oasis, in downtown Waterville. I couldn't be happier! A few ideas that have been in my head for the last several years finally came to life! #pottery #pottersofbluesky #artshow #newwork

Bottle vase from two days ago, trimmed
.
I'll spray it with flashing slip, leave it at that
.
Side fire it end of May for the ash drips
.
I've retreated into clay
.
But I'll still canvas for a guy who blotted out his tottenkopf chest tattoo because redemption's a thing
.

I know I'm taking a little artistic license with this post.
Just subtract water and add heat

Aeropress coffee preparation spread with a mug from the last batch of stained clay before the winter arrived
Close up of stained mug in front of Misfit’s coffee bag
Celebrating the spring finally starting to turn with some coffee from a new favorite roaster, my favorite aeropress recipe, and one of the last stained mugs I fired before the winter closed the studio 🫠

Someone needs to order some mold making supplies so they can make screw-in silicone stoppers for all these little salty birds. 'Someone' is me. I am 'someone'.

A bottle vase thrown from 6lbs/2.7kg
.
It weighs about ⅔ that now
.
Around ½ that after turning
.
Should be quite a bit svelter at the waist when the trimming is done
.
Probably side fire it, so the ash drips run horizontally
.

Cobalt-free black mason stain between atomized layers of stoneware (RJ flashing) and porcelain (Helmer) slips
.
Brushwork was uninspired but adequate
.
I knew to stop
.
There are factors enough
.
Leaving room for the kiln and happy accidents

Kiln is just about cooled down, from my first glaze firing! The soup tureen and ladle, tagine, most of the souvenir set, and flower sculpture from Throwdown are in, along with a few pieces I'm hoping to put in a show on Saturday! #kilnfiring #glaze #throwdown #backinbusiness #pottersofbluesky

Freedom is illusory, but maybe you get the illusion you get to choose your chains
.
Hard to believe so few think this way
.
It's curious, this drive to create
.
Unlike destruction, which is not curious at all

More lb mugs today
.
Handles take too much time
.
If I did this for a living I'd starve
.
And if we had a true democracy we'd have leaders by sortition or maybe those who wanted to lead would have to be thoroughly scourged first
